Are you ready to play your part in transforming the
lives of children with complex needs and the lives of their families? Do you
have the passion, resilience and dedication to enable our pupils to find true
fulfilment? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Riverside is a highly-regarded
school for children with severe and complex learning difficulties, many of whom
are on the autistic spectrum. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds
and experiences, including Early Career Teachers and we have a strong track
record of supporting teachers new to special education.
We are a forward-thinking and innovative all-age
(3-19) special school with a diverse population: our 360 pupils are based on
four sites, St Paul’s Cray, Beckenham, West Wickham and Phoenix (Bromley), in
the London Borough of Bromley. Pupil, family and staff engagement is extremely
important to us and we strive to involve the whole school community in making Riverside
the most incredible place for our pupils to learn and our staff to work. We aim
to provide the kind of specialist education and opportunities that our families
want and our pupils deserve. We stand together to promote inclusion and
celebrate diversity so that everyone in our school community feels a true sense
of belonging.
Our core values are at the heart of everything we do:
Aspiration
Resilience Creativity Humility Integrity
Trust Enthusiasm Courage Teamwork
They make up the acronym ARCHITECT to signify our
passion for designing and building a school that will make an indelible mark on
the world for generations to come; a school that will impact positively on
everyone who enters, on people we may never meet, and in ways we may never know.
We see our pupils’ time at Riverside School as just the first part of their
journey and we want them to leave us at the age of 19 as confident, lifelong
learners. We also want them to remember their time with us with great
affection, with memories of life-enriching experiences and enduring
relationships.
